RootStim recalls minoxidil treatment over child poisoning risk
The maker of RootStim hair regrowth treatments is recalling about 11,000 bottles sold on Amazon because the caps aren't child-resistant.
RootStim is recalling about 11,000 bottles of its minoxidil hair regrowth treatments because the packaging isn't child-resistant, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced October 29, 2026. The products, sold only on Amazon.com from August 2025 through February 2026 for between $20 and $40, contain minoxidil, which federal law requires to be packaged so children can't easily open it. CPSC
What to do
Anyone with one of the recalled bottles should keep it out of sight and reach of children right away. RootStim is asking owners to write "RECALLED" on the bottle, discard it, and send a photo of the discarded bottle to the company before getting a replacement. The company can be reached at 202-743-1714 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, by email, or through its website. No injuries have been reported. CPSC
The recall covers three RootStim product lines: the 5% Minoxidil Foam Hair Regrowth Treatment with Rosemary and Biotin, and two versions of the Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment with Rosemary. The products were manufactured in China. This is a national recall; the commission does not say how many of the bottles went to buyers in Ohio. CPSC
The Consumer Product Safety Commission published this recall notice on October 29, 2026, as recall number 27058. CPSC
